## Description

SDM is a Chrome extension for parents in schools that use School Dismissal Manager. It lets you schedule your child’s dismissal for any day within the next two weeks, preserves your typical dismissal, and only requires entering exceptions. Pick from your school's dismissal options and add a note if needed.

You'll receive reminders on days with exceptions, and your school issues new login credentials at the start of the school year. After logging in and setting a password, SDM stays just a click away. If your school uses FastLane, you can check in from the car line driveway, speeding up the process and keeping children safer. This extension works only for schools using SDM to streamline dismissal.
